La Liga Semi Final, Lafayette Park

We both played solid Fútbol, but LA Mix lost their confidence after we scored 2 early in the 1st half. It still hasn’t fully sinked that we are going to La Liga Finals.

La Liga Quarter Final, Lafayette Park

We really wanted this — as did they. Started by the founders of Lempira (current La Liga Champions), Alpha played with heart. Their forward scored 2 times off of deep shots from the left corner (insane angle), putting in the first goal early in the half. Aaron (#2) came back (from Defense) and scored 2 points for Parkside before half time. We set the pace and held most of the possession, but were just unlucky with our shots (at least 6 shots hit the cross bar). In the second half we calmed down a bit and played 2 touch with build after build to the goal, scoring 2 times early in the 2nd half. Alpha was tired, but managed to score a 3rd goal (from their forward) in the last 5 minutes. They desperately tried to tie at the end but ran out of steam and time. Good luck to Alpha in the 3rd place Tournament.

The Referee in our last match was criminal — yes CRIMINAL!! We scored a second goal (2 to 0), which was tipped in by their Keeper. The Referee called it a non-goal and gave a goal kick to Chacarita*. Our Club was livid, Agapit rushed the field to dispute the call and was given a Red Card — Grant, who held the ball while Agapit protested was given a Yellow. In our entire season we have NEVER had a direct penalty called against us — Friday night we had 2 (yes 2). 1st was a non-call, 2nd should have been a penalty on their Forward who barreled into our Keeper. Later in the 2nd half Grant was given a Yellow/Red for another non-contact play. We played the rest of the game down 1 man. Final score, 2 to 5. After our game we saw the Referee drinking at half-time with MS 13 — insanity.

Parkside vs Inter — tomorrow tonight (Wednesday 2/13/08) at 8:00pm at Lafayette Park. If we win we’ll take 3rd place in La Liga, a loss means 4th.

*Chacarita played a clean and fair game with the exception of refuting that their Keeper tipped the goal. The Referee acknowledged the tip, but said it did not count as a second touch — in direct contradiction with La Liga rules.
